In an effort to help reduce the enormous stress of tax season mixed with the perpetual anxiety brought on by our faltering economy, exhale spa is doing its part to pitch in and alleviate some of this burden. Annbeth Eschbach, exhale spa founder and president, has decided that exhale must do something to help counter the mental and physical health risks that are associated with stress, especially during one of the most trying times of the year and perhaps even our lives.

So, for the month of April, exhale is going to be offering complimentary, weekly meditation sessions, which are FREE (yes, Free) and open to the public at all locations nationwide. Reservations are required, so be sure you call to get a spot!

The free meditation classes will help you to stay centered during these worrying times. Ease the strain and soothe yourself with a guided breathing and healing session at exhale. Through meditation you can boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, improve concentration, and improve overall mental and physical wellbeing brought on by this turbulent financial climate.

Along with free meditation classes, exhale is also offering Acupuncture sessions for just $20! This 20-minute express therapy will calm your mind and body and help to relieve stress immediately.

Neutrogena Cosmetic Science Expert, Matin, created Neutrogena brand ambassador Emma Roberts’ look for the premiere of her new film, LymeLife, at the Gen Art Film Festival – now Matin shares how you can achieve Emma’s gorgeous look at home:

Face:

“For Emma’s glowing skin I began with Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Makeup in Classic Ivory followed by Neutrogena Mineral Sheers® Concealer Kit SPF 20 in Fair.”

Eyes:

“To make Emma’s eyes ‘pop’ I started with the Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Fairy Dust. I swept the lighter base shade all over the lid and applied the deeper accent shade along the base of Emma’s upper lashes, blending it upward toward the crease of her eyelid. Next I lined the inside rim of her eye with Neutrogena Nourishing Eyeliner in Cosmic Black. I continued the line around both the top and bottom lashes for definition.”

“I finished Emma’s eyes with a few coats of Neutrogena Healthy Volume Waterproof Mascara in Carbon Black for a bolder look.”

Lips:

“I complimented Emma’s bold eyes with a natural lip. The Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipstick SPF 20 in Angel’s Blush has a sheer texture that delivered just the right amount of color.”

Makeup Removal:

“Knowing it was going to be a late night for Emma I sent her home with Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing Nightly Cleanser and Neutrogena Night Calming Makeup Removing Cleansing Towelettes so she could take her makeup off in a flash. Scented with chamomile and lavender I knew they would help ease Emma to sleep.”

Well, I’ve got the perfect idea for you!!

I’m the mother of two rambunctious boys, and I’m constantly needing to relax and unwind.  When I was sent these two products, I thought this would make the most PERFECT Mother’s Day present!! Who doesn’t need to relax? Who doesn’t love a bath – a bath scented with lavendar, no less!

Make the mothers in your life happy this Mother’s Day with these two awesome products!  I got mine from Planet Beauty, and if you haven’t checked them out yet, stop what you’re doing and go here!

A new definition of calm. Authentic A.O.C. lavender essential oil from Provence and rosemary extract gently perfume, soften and soothe skin. Relaxing aroma helps sweep away the cares of the day. It takes only a small amount of product to create a bath full of bubbles. Attractive matte-silver aluminum bottle is reminiscent of authentic lavender essential oil jugs.

Indulge in a “spa night” once a week. Light a Lavender Candle in the bathroom. Pour two tablespoons Lavender Foaming Bath by L’Occitane under warm running water and enjoy the voluptuous bubbles evoking the beauty of Provence. Cleanse with gently exfoliating Lavender Velvet Body Scrub and, once towel-dried, smooth lush Lavender Body Milk onto moist skin.
